(4) K-3 Illustrated by Chris Sheban. After a trip to the Museum of Natural History, a girl starts to see dinosaurs everywhere she looks, though her parents tell her she's just imagining things. Wahl's text, which often struggles to maintain its meter, is almost beside the point; the real draw is the quietly humorous pastel illustrations of lifelike dinosaurs in everyday settings. Brief information about the ten featured dinosaurs is appended.
